+The ivtv driver
+===============

+Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xxxxxxxxx>
 
 This is a v4l2 device driver for the Conexant cx23415/6 MPEG encoder/decoder.
 The cx23415 can do both encoding and decoding, the cx23416 can only do MPEG
 encoding. Currently the only card featuring full decoding support is the
 Hauppauge PVR-350.
 
-NOTE: this driver requires the latest encoder firmware (version 2.06.039, size

 The primary goal of the IVTV project is to provide a "clean room" Linux
 Open Source driver implementation for video capture cards based on the
 iCompression iTVC15 or Conexant CX23415/CX23416 MPEG Codec.

 For every extra card you have the numbers increased by one. For example,
 /dev/video0 is listed as the 'base' encoding capture device so we have:
 
- /dev/video0  is the encoding capture device for the first card (card 0)
- /dev/video1  is the encoding capture device for the second card (card 1)
- /dev/video2  is the encoding capture device for the third card (card 2)
+- /dev/video0  is the encoding capture device for the first card (card 0)

 Note that if the first card doesn't have a feature (eg no decoder, so no
